Well done everyone. As for London Calling by the Clash. A far better tune than the one which reached No 1 in my opinion 😉

Thank you @RafaC  @MI5  @pgn @Cleoriff 

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz - even though some of the questions were "head scratchers" - and well done each of you on your awards.

As to "London Calling" by The Clash, I agree with @Cleoriff that, in my opinion, a much better song than the one which reached No 1 - and thanks @Cleoriff for posting the video.
